BigTom 76 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Maybe some of us fiends need to talk to that Radiologist so he can get the report right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 And the radiologist report is in ... and doesn't sound good: Impression:No significant change. Persistently visible fracture line with minimal distraction at the proximal metaphysis of the fifth metatarsal. In other words - It's still fractured and hasn't healed much in over 5 months. The Doctor's Notes don't say what he told me, either. Now I can use a shoe WITH the Walker; I'm supposed to be mostly NON-Weight Bearing (stay off of it totally); yada yada. This SMB!

If I remember right it's also called a Jones fracture. The fifth metatarsal is the long bone in the pinky toe. The side of your foot. I fractured mine in college practicing a new dive. It hurt like heck and took forever to heal. I hope it heals quickly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
